Valid RadGridView.ColumnName

[Richard Harrigan]

Hi

I executed the following:

gridColumn.DataMemberBinding = new Binding(column.ColumnName);

And example of a columnname is [dbo].[Orders].[OrderID]

The binding in this case did not work.  If I change the column name to eliminate "[ ] ." then it binds properly.  Are these characters not to be used for the Column Name are what is the naming convention for column names.

Thanks
Rich

Hi,

 Grid column DataMemberBinding is just a standard System.Windows.Data.Binding and you can find more info about supported formats, etc here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.data.binding(v=vs.95).aspx

All the best,

I am auto generating columns dynamically in the radgridview. Are there any naming conventions for columns? I have column names which begin with a number (1stCol, 2ndCol,..) and the binding does not work. If I name the column without a number in the beginning it works fine.

Hello,

The string values used for Name have some restrictions. You can check this msdn article for a reference.
